As filed

No trends available due to the market being closed the previous two weeks for inclement winter weather. Demand, market activity, and buyer interest were moderate. Offerings of cattle were very light due to ongoing wet weather leaving pastures extremely muddy and cattle difficult to move. Cattle quality was average. Baby calves ranged 20.00 to 40.00 per head.

A barn can sit above the state average at one weight and below it at another — check the class you actually sell.

5 sales

Bulls 0–100 lb: high $210.53, low $178.67, median $201.25 across 5 sales. Sales under 10 head in this class are excluded, so a thin day cannot swing the median or the ranking.
